McCann rejigs top tier in China

SHANGHAI - McCann Erickson has appointed three new MDs to run its offices in Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong following a major reshuffle of its China management that sees the departure of MD for McCann Erickson Guangming China, Don Norris.

Eunice Wong, former marketing director with Jardine Restaurant Group in Hong Kong, has been appointed MD of McCann Shanghai. Margaret Chan, who had overseen business development at McCann Beijing has been promoted to MD while Spencer Wong, ECD and executive vice-president of McCann China, also becomes MD of the Hong Kong office.

All three report directly to McCann WorldGroup Greater China chairman and CEO, TH Peng.
Peng said departing China chief Don Norris will return to the West after eleven years with McCann in Asia-Pacific. Norris moved to McCann Erickson Guangming China in 2004 to manage the agency's multi-national accounts, and was later promoted to national managing director.
